    Abstract Background: Jin-Zhen oral liquid (JZOL), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine prescription (TCMp), has extensively been used to treat acute bronchitis in children more than four hundred years in China. However, the current quality control standard of JZOL is inadequate, posing challenges for its internationalization. Purpose: In this study, a Q-marker screening strategy based on multi-factor analysis was proposed to comprehensively evaluate anti-inflammatory Q-markers of Jin-Zhen oral liquid (JZOL). Methods: Firstly, the chemical profile and the pharmacokinetics properties of multiple components in JZOL were characterized by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and UPLC-QqQ-MS. By integrating the measurable and absorbed components, twenty-two components with structures accurately defined, were selected as candidate Q-markers of JZOL. Following that, a network connecting 22 components and targets closely associated with bronchitis was established. Afterwards, a multi-factor analysis mode was developed to balance the components’ multiple characteristics, and screen out the anti-inflammatory Q-markers in JZOL. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity evaluation was conducted by LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages to prove the representativeness of anti-inflammatory Q-markers in JZOL. Results: As a result, a total of 92 components were characterized in JZOL and the pharmacokinetics properties of 11 bioactive components in vivo were further characterized. Then, an overlapping of 46 targets involved in the interactions of selected 22 candidate Q-markers and the regulation of bronchitis inflammation were collected. Subsequently, a multi-factor analysis was developed on 22 candidate anti-inflammatory Q-markers covering five factors, with the statistic KMO values of 0.645, and the P values of Bartlett's Test equal to 0.000. A total of seven ingredients (aloeemodin-8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, baicalin, chrysin-7-O-β-d-glucuronide, oroxylin A 7-O-β-d-glucuronide, wogonoside, chrysophanol-8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, and skullcapflavone II) were ...

    Abstract Mori Fructus (MF) is a famous edible fruit of Morus alba L. as well as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Moreover, exposure behavior of complex components in vivo is a necessary way to elucidate active substances in TCMs. However, the effective discovery of active ingredients from MF in vivo is still a challenge for researchers. In this study, an integrated strategy with chemical characterization, in vivo metabolism, chemical isolation, and activity evaluation was established and applied in targeted discovery of potential lipid-lowering substances in MF. First, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry method was established to characterize various chemical components in MF extract. Second, with the automatic matching (in-house database), discriminant ions analysis and metabolite software prediction, the metabolic profiling of different types of MF was elucidated in vivo. And the compounds from MF with high MS response in vivo were discovered. Third, according to LC-MS information of fractions, these compounds were isolated and identified by NMR. Finally, the isolated compounds were evaluated for the lipid-lowering activity on determination of triglyceride levels in high fructose-induced HepG2 cells at different concentrations. And PCSK9 inhibitory and LDL-R promoting activity were measured by western blot experiment. As a result, a total of 72 constituents were characterized in MF. After oral administration of MF extract, 16 prototypes and 33 metabolites were rapidly screened out. And the metabolism features of alkaloids, flavonols and organic acids were further revealed. Six alkaloids (morusimic acid A-D, G, F), with high MS response in vivo and no reference standards on the market, were isolated guided by LC-MS and identified by NMR. Among them, morusimic acid A, B, G and F could reduce triglyceride levels in fructose-induced HepG2 cells. Moreover, with western blot experiment, morusimic acid A, B, G and F could inhibit the expression of PCSK9 protein. And ...

    Abstract Prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) is the most frequent malignancy, and is the second leading cause of death due to cancer in men. Thus, new prognostic biomarkers and drug targets for PRAD are urgently needed. As we know, nuclear receptor Nur77 is important in cancer development and changes in the tumor microenvironment; whereas, the function of Nur77 in PRAD remains to be elucidated. The TCGA database was used to explore the Nur77 expression and its role in the prognosis of PRAD. It was shown that Nur77 was down regulated in PRAD, and low Nur77 expression was correlated with advanced clinical pathologic characteristics (high grade, histological type, age) and poor prognosis. Furthermore, key genes screening was examined by univariate Cox analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival. Additionally, Nur77 was closely related to immune infiltration and some anti-tumor immune functions. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were presented by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Therefore, the expression level of Nur77 might help predict the survival of PRAD cases, which presents a new insight and a new target for the treatment of PRAD. In vitro experiments verified that natural product malayoside targeting Nur77 exhibited significant therapeutic effects on PRAD and largely induced cell apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of Nur77 and its mitochondrial localization. Taken together, Nur77 is a prognostic biomarker for patients with PRAD, which may refresh the profound understanding of PRAD individualized treatment.

    Abstract The cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) are heme-containing enzymes which catalyze a wide range of oxidation reactions in nature. In our previous study, a rare multifunctional P450 AstB was found, which can dually oxidize two methyl groups (C-19 and C-21) of preasperterpenoid A to asperterpenoid A with 3-carboxyl and 11-hydroxymethyl groups. However, the oxidation order of C-19 and C-21 catalyzed by AstB is unclear. In order to reveal this oxidation order, probable pathways catalyzed by AstB were proposed, and the oxidation order of C-19 and C-21 was obtained by quantum chemistry calculations. The potential intermediates (three new asperterpenoids D–F, 1–3) were obtained through the chemical investigation on the extract of the transformant strain and chemical conversions, which were used as the standards to detect their existences in the extract of the transformant strain with HPLC-MS. Combined with the quantum chemistry calculation and the HPLC-MS analysis, the catalyzed order of AstB in asperterpenoid A biosynthesis was revealed. Furthermore, the mPTPB inhibition of obtained asperterpenoids was evaluated, and the results showed that 3-carboxyl and the oxidation station of C-21 would be the key factors for mPTPB inhibition of asperterpenoids.

    Abstract Gualou Xiebai decoction (GLXB), a multi-component herbal formula, has been widely used to treat coronary heart disease (CHD) in China for centuries. Several studies have revealed part of its pharmacological activities, whereas its active compounds and mechanisms of action are still unknown because of its complex composition.Discover the major active compounds and the pharmacological mechanisms of GLXB by network pharmacology methods.The main candidate target network was constructed by predicting targets of absorbable chemical compounds of GLXB, collecting therapeutic targets of cardiovascular drugs, constructing target network and layers of screening. Community detection and edge-betweenness calculation were applied to analyze the main candidate target network. Cell viability test, Western blot and flow cytometry were performed to validate the predicted results in cardiomyocytes hypoxia/reoxygenation model.Five clusters and eight cross-talk targets were found in the main candidate target network. Their functions combined together might explain the multifunctional role of GLXB against CHD. Among the cross-talk targets, ESR1 (Estrogen receptor alpha, ERα) and MAPK14 (Mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, p38) were both drug targets and therapeutic targets whose interaction exhibited the greatest edge-betweenness value, suggesting their crucial role in the protective effect of GLXB. The compounds targeting on ESR1 and MAPK14 were identified as apigenin and 25S-macrostemonoside P respectively which were regard as the major bioactive compounds. The predicted results including the major bioactive compounds, their targets and the synergic effects between them were validated.This study screened out major bioactive compounds from GLXB and offered a new understanding of the protection mechanism of GLXB against CHD by network pharmacology method and provides a combination strategy to explore mechanisms of action of multi-component drugs from a holistic perspective.
